Croydon Champions Awards

The Croydon Champions Awards aim to recognise, promote and reward those individuals and groups who play a valuable role in the local community. These special people sometimes get little or no public recognition for what they have done. The aim of the Croydon Champions Awards is to give them the limelight they deserve.

Aims

This correlates with the Royal Russell School motto is 'Nin Sibi Sed Omnibus', which translates as 'Not for oneself but for all.'

Background
